INDIAN ISLE. 


I found in dreams a dwelling of delight, 

And did possess it with my soul’s de¬ 
sire : 

An island, cinctured with the radiant 
fire 

Of orient noons and girt about with 
white 

Of wave-wash’d reefs, wherein there 
slumbered bright, 

Ah! dream-bright bays, that brought- 
the blue sky nigher 

Down to my wish; and many a flower- 
sheathed spire 

Of mystic splendid trees bare up that 
height 

Of imminent azure, flower’d above the 
earth. 

There, for my spirit’s ease, my hope I 
laid, 

To dwell within that golden-hearted 
shade 

And drink the splendor of the things 
that be, 

Renewing ever with the new sun’s 
birth, 

And rounded with the slumber of the 
sea. 

—From “Intaglios,” by John Payne.

logical part of this little Every Day 
Book. —Suzanne E. Wardlaw , the Author

JUST A DEWDROP. 


I—who am I? Just a dewdrop, 
Glittering, glistening on the rose leaf 
Yet-1 help to make Niagara, 

Help to make the mightiest torrents. 
Just a dewdrop, quickly passing, 

Thing of beauty in the sunshine; 

Yet through me the desert blossoms, 
Giving life where death was present. 
Just a dewdrop, hardly noticed, 

Never counted as a world force; 

Yet I move the giant engine, 

Which without me were impotent. 

Just a dewdrop, not a diamond, 
Doomed to dry and die so shortly; 

Yet I help create the ocean, 

On which man is but a feather. 

Just a dewdrop, gone by noontide, 
Perished, vanished like a phantom; 
Yet my soul is everlasting, 

So I go to weightier duties— 

Type of souls to him who ponders 
On the models of creation. 

Though alone I can do nothing, 

Merged with others I’m resistless. 

So may you, the human atom, 

Learn the logic of existence.
